Tokyo Drift

Chapter 2

"How are things over there? No one has tried to bother you, right?" Asks Suga, his voice holding a worried tone. Tobio shakes his head before hitting himself mentally, the older boy won't be able to see him. "No, everything is fine I am keeping my distance though they want me to join in on a few race circuits to get familiar with the environment."

He hears a squawk from Hinata, Nishinoya, Tanaka, and Saeko. A gasp of worry from Yachi and Asahi, and a few of the Karasuno crew mutter curses. "Races?! Are they crazy, you're not even a full member just their mechanic!" exclaims Tanaka. Tobio sighs, "I know but I can't do anything about it...anyways I got my first job for the day."

None of them question the change of subject and Tobio mentally thanked them, it was already hard talking to them without bursting into tears, he didn't want to have his first call home end up with bitterness. "That's good, what did they ask you to fix?"

Tobio placed his phone on the bedside table on full speaker while looking for his 'job clothes' not sure if Inarizaki had a dress code or not. "A Lexus LFA one of the members was on a race last night and some people corner him into a concrete wall causing some dents, a broken mirror, and scratches on the paint job."

He pulls out a black long sleeve, one that he has used countless times back at Karasuno.

"It's not much damage, it will probably take around two days to do the paint job, a week for the dents, and a few minutes to fix the mirror," Tobio then takes out a pair of dark blue pants stain permanently with oil.

"At least you have something to distract you YamaYama-kun, and it's also your favorite model car!" Hinata exclaim, Tobio grins. Even if the ginger was miles away it felt as if he were here talking to him like any other day.

"Oh! Look at the time, we have to go Kageyama-kun, well call you tomorrow. Have a nice day at work and remember to eat!."

A chorus of 'take care' and 'make sure to eat' echoed inside the small room before the line goes dead. Tobio sighs, he misses them, today he had woken up thinking he would have his daily run with Hinata only for reality to crash down on him.

He is no longer in Hyogo, no longer with his family. It frustrates him how easy it was for his life to be ripped away from him, and by a ghost of his past no less. Taking off his sleepwear Tobio quickly puts on his work clothes and hastily brushes his normally straight hair.

He needs to prepare the mechanic shop for the day, and he needs to free a slot for Suna's car.

Walking out of the room and down the stairs, the ocean-eyed man's stomach growls. Hunger struck him, right he woke up late today and didn't get a chance to eat breakfast. He will have to buy food somewhere; the flat didn't have a kitchen and he didn't exactly bring any food before coming here either.

But that would be for later, he could hold it in Tobio had done it before, plus he doesn't have time to go wandering for a fast-food restaurant. In a few minutes, Suna should be arriving and Tobio's sense of direction is shit, if he were to leave on his own he would end up lost and that's the last thing he needs.

Doing the same thing he had done last night Tobio opened all the slots of the garage, turned off the security alarms, and began taking out the things he will need for the day. Suna's car didn't have much damage but it didn't mean it won't take a few days to repair it.

Especially the dents, last night Tobio had done a quick scan of the car and engine, it was already dark and if he did take time to check the vehicle properly Tobio wouldn't have done a good job.

It's better for him to check it during the day where he has sunlight and time, plus the car would need to stay in the mechanic shop for a few days and Suna needed to go home.
